Further Information

FOUND follow up 2015’s futuristic album ‘Cloning’ with a look
back at the past in ‘Terra Nova’.
Dr William Clark Souter travelled to Antarctica in 1903 on board
the Terra Nova ship bound to rescue Captain Scott’s RRS
Discovery from ice. Souter was a junior doctor based at
Aberdeen Royal Infirmary who was also a keen photographer
and was allowed to document the expedition. FOUND were
commissioned by Grampian Hospital Arts Trust to create a
response to Dr Souter’s photographs that are housed within the
University of Aberdeen Special Collections. The project
culminated in the exhibition ‘TERRA NOVA’ at The Suttie Arts
Space in ARI, from December 2015 to February 2016 and the
production of this record.
On ‘Terra Nova’ the sound of FOUND is wreathed in a fog of
analogue synthesizers where once it buzzed with brittle guitars.
